Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that our business operations create. We're one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country, but we are making sure our carbon emissions don’t grow with us. To measure our carbon footprint, we look at things like leaked refrigerants, transportation and business vehicle miles, and electric and gas used in our national and divisional offices, stores and warehouses.
